TORONTO – Technology Cancon will begin airing south of the border this fall on G4techTV. 
Call for Help, the first Canadian-produced G4techTV Canada television production, will be back into the homes of American fans in September on G4, the national cable and satellite network available in 53 million homes in the United States.
Call for Help airs at 6 p.m. ET and 9 p.m. PT weeknights on G4techTV Canada (which is owned jointly by Rogers Communications and Shaw Communications and operated by Rogers in Toronto).
This is the second international sale in less than a year of the Call For Help series. Recently, Australia’s HOW TO Channel began airing the popular Canadian program.
“We saw a great opportunity in Call for Help when we approached Leo about a Canadian production of the program,” explains Tom Ayley, general manager, G4techTV Canada. “After just one year of Canadian production and broadcasting, there has been a build up of interest south of the border and internationally. Many of our fan inquiries about accessing the show originate in the United States and elsewhere.” 
Call for Help, is hosted by award-winning technology journalist and author Leo Laporte (right) and Canadian technology experts Amber MacArthur and Andy Walker with several guest-hosts including Kevin Rose formerly of Screen Savers (Attack of the Show). Call for Help is designed to help viewers, from the tech-savvy to the novice, get the most out of their technology and keep up-to-date on the latest technology news and products. The Canadian program is modeled after the show Laporte originally hosted for six years on G4 in the United States.
“Our re-entry to the USA is due in part to all the fans that kept in touch and visited the Call for Help web site,” said Laporte. “We are excited that G4 is bringing Call for Help back to our American fans who have supported the show for so long. With limited technology programming available, G4techTV Canada is really one of the last stations with a solid commitment to technology-focused programming.”
The Call for Help website (www.callforhelp.ca) receives nearly 200,000 unique visits per day and the site will have a brand new look beginning today.
